It seems like during the past few weeks, there's been a massive amount of trolls posting on here. It's quite shocking really as I've always thought VGC had a rather decent community. But then, around September, more and more trolls just began to join and now if you look at the "WW UP!" threads, you see them everywhere. I didn't join until Feb this year, so I don't know if this is some kind of seasonal thing or what. 

So, to all the VGC "vets", does it always get like this during the holidays, or is this something new? Also, do you think the trolls will go away after the holidays are over?

Well, yeah, it does get like this each year. I... try to remove some of them, but am bound by other actions. Best thing I can tell you to do is report the ones you see, giving a trail for me to act upon them. If you have reported them and feel it was ignored, feel free to PM me directly, and I can look into it and tell you my take on it.

Trolls start to join togheter around the year's end for a big troll fest.

Well, the last WW up was quite terrible, but that always happens when a console does really well or really loserishly, doesn't it?

You but this time, there were not only existing trolls, but there were also several new trolls that came and started trolling

I gotcha. I'll do my best to keep the trolls out of here.

The truly annoying part is that it seems to be people new to the site (sub 200 or 100 posts)

They are getting bolder with their trolling, they just say whatever comes to mind. And it's from all consoles fans.

I noticed that too. It's quite scary. That WW Weekly thread was bone chilling.

I guess it's up to us to report them and the mods to get rid of them. And hopefully order will be restored.

People just develop an irrational hatred when their console of choice isn't doing as well as expected.  Some people take the console wars way to seriously and ruin threads due to it.
